Bergen is a good place to stay. Each season has its own temptation, relaxing, regain energy or just to get away for a week or a few days. Bergen aan Zee and the surrounding villages guarantee a successful holiday.

A walk on the beach or a biking-tour in the dunes and forest: All of this guarantees full enjoyment. The dunes and forest situated between Bergen and Bergen aan Zee provide hours of time for biking and long walks through a large variety of fauna and flora. A great alternative is a long walk along the beautiful shores of the always interesting north-sea.

Bergen represents beauty, art and culture.

De old village-centre is situated around the ‘Ruïnekerk’, a monumental church built in the 15th century. In the centre you will find a large variety of different historical buildings, built in the 20th century.
